Who do you think is gone?

IDK...these guys are playing so poorly I'm not sure how much trade value you can get. You just resigned Millsap. Al & Teague could probably get you something nice but Al is the heart of the team & the Hawks want to resign him. If you trade Teague do you really feel comfortable with a Schoeder/Mack PG duo? I don't. So to answer your question I don't think a trade solves anything. You gotta hope this team plays better & figures it out, but right now they're not even a playoff team

Hawks have managed to destroy most of the goodwill they earned from last season with how mediocre they've looked...shyt just look at this thread. Most of the #Set has gone to #shyt, brehs ain't even posting up no more

Ain't nothing to be excited about at all. Talent level is average as hell, Bud refusing to play Edy or Hardaway, the young guys looking like bench guys at best (Dennis, Muscala, Lamar)

Last year the team made up for the lack of talent with incredible chemistry and the key guys actually looked comfortable in their roles. The offense was more diverse, passing was better.

Now they let everybody shoot threes like theres no tomorrow. Both Paul and Al have attempted more threes than our starting point guard. Dennis is 2nd in attempts while shooting 28%

Big men constantly get bullied inside. shyt is just ugly to watch. The blueprint to beat us was given out last playoffs: Shut down Kyle and pack the paint.

Not sure how this team can be fixed. Last season looking more and more like an inside rigging job by the NBA to get the team sold

Good first quarter...Horford started out strong

I still think the single biggest issue on offense has been Korver being unable to shoot at the level he was at last year . He's barely at 40% 3pt shooting (.397% this season ) and last year this time he was over 50%

Also not sure if y'all heard this but there are rumors the Hawks would trade Al, Mike Scott & Shelvin Mack for Dwight Howard. Apparently Rick Kamla of 92.9/NBA TV said a source of his confirmed this today. What y'all think?

He just talking. I wouldn't hate this trade but this isn't a contending trade. No offense but Dwight isn't what he used to be.

I honestly want to trade Splitter even more than anything.

I think Horford is gone after this year. We might have no choice but to trade him or lose him for nothing. We made that mistake with Smoove

A. We want Horford and will pay him max.
B. What mistake did we make with Smoove. We didn't offer and then signed Millsap. Where's the mistake?

We didn't get anything for Smoove we knew he was gone after the season. I remember teams were low balling us but a draft pick would have been better than nothing. And we got Milsap for cheap I don't think it had much to do with losing Smoove.

I think Horford is ready for a change of scenery him hiring a new agent before the season started gave us indication that he's goin to explore all options

Good win tonight. I don't care that it was Philly, we moved the ball better, limited turnovers and played defense. I'd rather we get into good habits and today was a good sign. BOS in BOS on Fri

Great game. Even tho it was the sixers, we came out on a mission.

I don't have a problem with moving horford. I don't want him to be our starter at pf. If he can't pull down 10 rebounds a night, he got to go. We keep getting exposed inside and horf ain't doing enough inside. Sure we will lose his midrange shot but where was it taking us anyway.

If we could get a wing with upside plus a real big. Im all for it.
